It’s pecan fundraising time for the Butler County Homemakers!  Homemakers are taking orders for the 2016 crop of Schermer pecans, either pieces or halves through October 28th.  These are fresh pecans (2016 crop) and the Homemakers will be getting delivery of the first group picked.  While we ‘usually’ have extra bags to sell upon arrival, extras usually go fast!  DON”T WAIT – Place your order today to guarantee you get the fresh pecans you need for your baking or holiday stocking stuffers!

    Pecans are being sold for $9.50 per pound for bags of halves and pieces. 

    NEW THIS YEAR – We are also selling CHOCOLATE COVERED PECANS!  These are also fresh crop and come in 12 oz. bags for $10 per bag.

The funds raised from this project is used to provide two educational scholarships each year.

    Contact the following to place an order:  Dianne Kessinger (526-5531), Sherry Johnson (999-2004), Charlene Cook (526-6466), Mary Joe Franklin (791-1556), Butler County Extension Office (526-3767), or any Homemaker you know.
